Bird lime update – early removal is best.
I don’t know anyone who carries a full water mister in their car ready to remove bird lime so I have been trying other options. The answer was really easy, it just took a lateral jump.
Keep a small pack of baby wipes in the glove box. These are designed to remove similar stuff. I have tried a few brands and they all work the same, so go for the basics type. Catch the problem early while still soft if possible, but if not fold a wipe and place over the deposit and after a few minutes it can be lifted off. If this does not have the desired effect check out the full report below when you have access to clean water.
I have not found any paint issues with the wipes, but perhaps it’s wise to clean the area as normal as soon as you can afterwards.
